Faarfannaa 114

1 Yeroo sabni Israaʼel biyya Gibxii, manni Yaaqoobis saba afaan ormaa dubbatu keessaa baʼetti,

When Israel came forth out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from among a people of strange tongue,

2 Yihuudaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaa, Israaʼel immoo bulchiinsa isaa taʼe.

Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his realm:

3 Galaanni argee baqate; Yordaanosis duubatti deebiʼe;

The sea, beheld, and fled, The Jordan, turned back;

4 tulluuwwan akka korbeeyyii hoolaa, gaarranis akkuma xobbaallaawwan hoolaa burraaqan.

The mountains, started like rams, The hills like the young of the flock?

5 Yaa galaana, ati maaliif baqatte? Yaa Yordaanos, atis maaliif duubatti deebite?

What aileth thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, that thou turnest back?

6 Yaa tulluuwwan, isin maaliif akka korbeeyyii hoolaa, yaa gaarran isinis maaliif akka xobbaallaawwan hoolaa burraaqxu?

Ye mountains, that ye start like rams? Ye hills, like the young of the flock?

7 Yaa lafa, fuula Gooftaa duratti, fuula Waaqa Yaaqoob duratti holladhu;

Before the Lord, be in anguish, O earth, Before the GOD of Jacob:

8 inni kattaa gara harootti, kattaa jabaa immoo gara burqaa bishaaniitti geeddare.

Who turneth The Rock into a pool of water, The Flint into springs of water.
